Metro Enlace: Empowering socio-emotional skills through innovative e-learning

Enlace - a department of Facens - created Enlace Metro, a Self-Instructional course. Through the narrative of a subway journey, students are invited to participate in the course for the development of socio-emotional skills, available on the Learning Management System.

Metro Enlace is divided into 8 routes, each with 3 or 4 stations, featuring theoretical content with interactive segments, curiosity sessions related to the theme, reference videos, animations with characters created to generate identification with students, tips for flourishing this skill, and reflective activities. The student is also invited to respond to a self-assessment comprising two questionnaires: the WHOQOL, which assesses quality of life in physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains, and also the PIL-TEST, which assesses Life Purpose. This assessment can be tracked on a panel by the student within the online system.
